Kafka Tamura - No Hope (Video)

It’s been a long time since Kafka Tamura captured our imaginations with the mesmerising sonics and visuals of Somewhere Else (way back in October 2013 to be exact). Since that time they’ve signed with independent German label Lichdicht Records (which is also the home for Milky Chance) and finally our patience is rewarded with some new material. No Hope is masterfully restrained, full of gently picked guitar lines and simple keys that allow the almost stern voice of Emma Dawkins and slow-dance electronic bass to drive the song forward. The video itself mixes beauty with something dark and sinister, a black inkiness threatening to destroy everything.Kafka Tamura are touring Europe with their new label mates Milky Chance right now.
